The event data recorder in this vehicle
is designed to record such data as:
• How various systems in your vehicle
were operating;
• Whether or not the driver and
passenger safety belts were
buckled/ fast ened;
• How far (if at all) the driver was
depressing the accelerator and/or
the brake pedal; and
• How fast the vehicle was t ravelling;
and
• Where the driver was positioning
the steering wheel.
This data can help provide a better
understanding of the circumstances in
which crashes and injuries occur.
Note: Event data recorder data is
recorded by your vehicle only if a
non-trivial crash situation occurs; no data
is recorded by the event data recorder
under normal driving conditions and no
personal data or information (e.g., name,
gender, age, and crash location) is
recorded (see limitations regarding 911
Assist and Traffic, directions and
Information privacy below). However,
parties, such as law enforcement, could
combine the event data recorder data
with the type of personally identifying
data routinely acquired during a crash
investigation.
To read data recorded by an event data
recorder, special equipment is required,
and access to the vehicle or the event
data recorder is needed. In addition to
the vehicle manufacturer, other
parties, such as law enforcement, that
have such special equipment, can read
the information if they have access to
the vehicle or the event data recorder.
Ford Motor Company and Ford of
Canada do not access event data
recorder information without obtaining
consent, unless pursuant to court order or where required by law enforcement,
other government authorities or other
third parties acting with lawful
authority. Other parties may seek to
access the information independently
of Ford Motor Company and Ford of
Canada.
Note: Including to the extent that any
law pertaining to Event Data Recorders
applies to SYNC or its features, please
note the following: Once 911 Assist (if
equipped) is enabled (set ON), 911 Assist
may, through any paired and connected
cell phone, disclose to emergency
services that the vehicle has been in a
crash involving the deployment of an
airbag or, in certain vehicles, the
activation of the fuel pump shut-off.
Certain versions or updates to 911 Assist
may also be capable of being used to
electronically or verbally provide to 911
operators the vehicle location (such as
latitude and longitude), and/or other
details about the vehicle or crash or
personal information about the
occupants to assist 911 operators to
provide the most appropriate emergency
services. If you do not want to disclose
this information, do not activate the 911
Assist feature. See SYNC™ (page 319).
Additionally, when you connect to
Traffic, Directions and Information (if
equipped, U.S. only), the service uses
GPS technology and advanced vehicle
sensors to collect the vehicle’s current
location, travel direction, and speed
(“vehicle travel information”), only to
help provide you with the directions,
traffic reports, or business searches
that you request. If you do not want
Ford or its vendors to receive this
information, do not activate the
service. Ford Motor Company and the

Right Information Display Efficiency Leaves
Efficiency leaves indicate short term driving
efficiency. The more leaves and vines that
are displayed, the better your fuel
economy. Leaves and vines will
occasionally appear and disappear to
indicate a change in driving efficiency.
Note: The efficiency leaves display can be
impacted by your use of brakes, accelerator
and accessories, as well as environmental
conditions such as hills and weather.
Common Displays Fuel Economy Displays:
Displays your average and instantaneous
fuel economy on most Display Mode
screens.
Note: You can reset your average fuel
economy by pressing and holding the OK
button on the left hand steering wheel
controls.
• Average Fuel Economy - is
continuously averaged since the last
reset. You can reset your average fuel
economy by pressing and holding the
OK button on the left hand steering
wheel controls. For Energi vehicles both
Hybrid and Plug-in Power mode
operation will be included in the
calculation.
• Instantaneous Fuel Economy - If your
instantaneous fuel economy is greater
than the maximum value displayed, a
+ sign will be shown next to the
maximum scale number. When the
vehicle is operating on battery power
only, EV is displayed and the gauge fill
is shown in blue. Battery Gauge:
Note: Battery gauge information can be
individually selected on or off through
Battery Display in the Options sub-menu.
From any main display a right arrow press
on the steering wheel controls will take you
to the Options sub-menu.
Note: For Energi vehicles there are two
versions of the battery gauge. When the
vehicle is in Hybrid Mode the information is
shown with a simple battery graphic. When
in Plug-in Power Mode an enhanced battery
graphic is provided and available electric
range is added to the display.
The high voltage battery gauge appears
on the right side of the information display
screen. This provides Charge Fill (State of
Charge), Charge Assist and Regen Display.
• Charge Fill (Hybrid Mode) - The fill
level, or State of Charge indicates the
amount of energy stored in the high
voltage battery as a percent of total
energy capacity. The level will increase
or decrease as the battery charges and
discharges during normal operation,
but the hybrid system will attempt to
control the level to approximately the
middle of the gauge under most driving
conditions.
• Charge Fill (Energi Plug-in Power
Mode) - The fill level indicates the
amount of energy stored in the high
voltage battery which is available for
Plug-in Power Mode. A full fill
represents the total amount of energy
you can get from an external charge
(plugging your vehicle in). When the fill
reaches empty your vehicle will
automatically enter Hybrid Mode.
Note: The Charge Fill is always shown for
Plug-in Power Mode, even if Charge Fill is
not selected under Battery Display in the
Options sub-menu.
